We consider range queries that search for low-frequency elements (least frequent elements and $$\alpha $$α-minorities) in arrays. An $$\alpha $$α-minority of a query range has multiplicity no greater than an $$\alpha $$α fraction of the elements in the range. Our data structure for the least frequent element range query problem requires $$O(n)$$O(n) space, $$O(n^{3/2})$$O(n3/2) preprocessing time, and $$O(\sqrt{n})$$O(n) query time. A reduction from boolean matrix multiplication to this problem… CONTINUE READING
